    The ADOWA/ KETE dance needs to be elaborated on. The video y’all got for it isn’t accurate at all! Adowa is waaay tooo complex than it just being graceful😂😂. The drums communicate with the dancers and the dance communicates to the people…

    Yes, family, every hand gesture tells a story, every movement communicate, I used learned what the meaning was, but since I left Ghana over 40years ago, I lost what the movement represents, also the drums do communicate, thanks for shedding light on Ghana, and in Africa in general!

    The white cloth is worn when the deceased is seventy years and above to celebrate having lived an entire life. Rather than a cause for sadness, it is seen as a joyous occasion. The white also, in some cultures, represents resurrection and victory over death.
    White clothes symbolize the innocence of the new baby, and other bright colors are used to express happiness. This tradition is connected to Ghana's culture because family is essential to people here.
    White is our celebratory and good luck color, and the idea is when you start with white clothes, the rest of the year will be full of good luck and celebrations.
    And we wear white clothes for a festive occasions, cleansing rites, and pureness.

    Adowa dance (hand gestures/movements) by the Ashantes are usually performed to tell stories, warnings, what's about to take place in the villages, and what/messages sent through de chief-linguist to deliver to its people especially in de villages or even in some local communities as well.

    In Africa all countries each country we have different types of tribes and these tribes have different types of traditional dances like Uganda where am from we do have many different tribes and types of traditional dancing that even not filmed or recorded on social media not even known internationally but very famous in Uganda also Tanzania. The dances are really good to the point you can wonder 💭 how they do it using their back, hips, 🍑 and waste it’s bad that it’s not recorded for the world to see how black people are naturally talented and being destroyed by the politicians. Thank you guys for showing at least somethings about blacks

    The Adowa dance hand gestures are usually done during festivals, durbars, enstoolment of chiefs ans issue warnings in case some folks are reported/rumored to be doing things that are considered unlawful, disgracefull, or barnaric and being warned not to repeat again. And these things have mostly taken place and the traditional kings/queens/chief elders & places are aware of them.
    Thats when de dancers are taught to show the warnings in damcing to send message to the audience.🫣🤷🏾‍♂️
